HOT Ayreon 2011 is the signature all tube guitar amplifier model of Arjen Anthony Lucassen. Fully hand-made and hand-wired guitar amplifier made by point-to-point technology made of first quality materials and components, featuring three channels, serio-parallel effects loop driven by ECC83 valve, pentode/triode power switch (100W class AB/50W Class A), custom ‘Presence’ ‘Sweep’ and ‘Master’ controls, footswitch, outputs for 4 8 and 16ohm speaker cabinets and more.

We at HOT Amps are very happy and proud that Arjen Lucassen already used his new signature guitar amp on his new upcoming solo album called Lost in the New Real (to be released on 23 April in Europe and 8 May in USA).

“I’ve got many guitar amps, but all of them are missing something — either bottom, top, attack or midrange. I end up having to combine several amps to get the sound I want. But Hot amps have made this Ayreon 2011 amp especially to my personal specifications and it has it all…finally I don’t have to switch amps all the time anymore!”
